Southdown Surveyors are professional Chartered Surveyors working throughout East Sussex providing a range of property services. We are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. One of our most popular services is a RICS Level 3 Home Survey which is vital if you are planning major works to a large or old building. Whilst this is more costly than other RICS reports, it provides a highly detailed report regarding the building structure and fabric of the property.
We are a local company offering personal, friendly and professional service at competitive prices. Our Chartered Surveyors tailor our service to suit you and meet your individual requirements. We can provide you with all of the necessary information you need to make an informed decision regarding the property in question.
We are proud to offer additional services should you require them, dependent on the individual merits of the property a charge may be required.
We are here to make the whole process of your survey as simple as possible. We can explain our findings in simple terms to ensure you well-informed regarding the purchase of your property. If the survey identifies costly-to-repair defects, we can help you negotiate with the vendor to save some money. If required, we can provide specific defect reports such as cracking or water penetration. We can also provide snagging surveys for newly built of convered properties. Should you require the following we can also provide: asbestos surveys (including sample testing), drainage surveys, fire risk assessments and energy performance certificates.

My wife and I used Southdown Surveyors during a recent potential house purchase. We had agreed a price on an older, character property and felt it best to fully assess the area and the property. We are both mightily pleased we engaged Southdown’s help as they flagged up some very serious, unseen defects in the property. As inexperienced first time buyers we would have been left having bought a seriously defective property with largely no sell on value and a huge bill simply to make habitable.
Southdown Surveyors were extremely professional, diligent and very helpful. They provide a thoroughly detailed breakdown of the property they survey, from little things like nearby trees that might invalidate house insurance to highly detailed information on the structure and wellbeing of the property.
I think in some cases there might be a tendency on the house buyer’s end to avoid engaging a full survey but with what we have experienced I would strongly advise anyone looking to buy a property to engage a thorough, proper survey. The outlay in doing so is relatively minimal and when you are making such a large financial, and life investment, having professionals on your side, and ones who will help you as Southdown Surveyors did for us, is absolutely invaluable.
